What are you doing, Kakyoin?
I've got it.
I know how to find the secret of his Stand.
What?
For Noriaki Kakyoin, Hierophant Green is a reminder.
It's about Noriaki.
He makes no attempt to socialize with the other children.
It's not that he's disliked.
He seems rather reserved; too reserved, in fact.
As his teacher, I'm very concerned.
I'm ashamed to say,
but I'm afraid I don't understand it either.
It was always the same loop of thoughts running through my head:
We all live in cities, and meet all sorts of people.
But how often do we make a genuine human connection?
All of my classmates' have address books
filled with their friends' names.
Each one of them must have a book of fifty,
maybe one hundred names.
Mom has dad, and dad has mom.
But I'm different.
I'm sure rock stars and TV celebrities
have tens of thousands of friends.
But I'm different.
I'll never have any friends.
No one will ever get me. No one can see Hierophant Green.
How can I relate to someone who can't see the real me?
That's how I used to think.
Until I met Mr. Joestar, Jotaro, Polnareff, and Avdol.
Why does the mere thought of Avdol and Iggy
make the hairs on my back stand on end?
I know. It's because they're
the first people who treated me like a friend.
Our goal to defeat Dio, together.
Our journey may've been short-lived,
but we grew to be true friends.
For Noriaki Kakyoin, Hierophant Green was a revelation!
I'll make Hierophant Green the way it used to be.
Invisible to everyone!
I'll make Hierophant imperceptible to reveal Dio's secret
before finishing him off for good!
EPISODE 46: DIO'S WORLD, PART 2
Look, Jotaro!
The cars are totaled!
Up there.
The old man and Dio are up on the roof.
I see only Kakyoin and Joseph before me.
Interesting.
They split up to attack me from both sides.
Jotaro and Polnareff must be coming after me from behind.
Futile.
This is...
Kakyoin's Hierophant Green!
He turned it into a web?
-This is... -That's right!
The web fires on contact.
And it has you completely surrounded for 20 meters in every direction!
I can sense you and your Stand's every move!
Take this, Dio! Twenty-meter radius Emerald Splash!
You fool. Find out for yourself.
The true power of The World
is the power to rule the world!
Show me your Stand, Dio!
The World!
What? Kakyoin!
Something just sent him hurtling through the air!
But how?
Kakyoin!
What just happened?
Did he get me?
It's no use. It must be fatal.
I can't speak or even move my finger.
It's 5:15.
And midnight in Japan.
I wonder what mom and dad are doing.
I suppose they're already asleep.
I'm sorry for causing you so much worry.
Noriaki Kakyoin's last thoughts were not of his parents back in Japan.
Now his parental musings had given way to the single question
that bewildered him more than any other.
I can sense any movement within Hierophant Green's web.
But Dio managed to break the entire web in one moment.
Not one strand at a time,
but all of them at once.
Without even a ten-thousandth of a second difference.
How did he instantaneously shatter an entire 20-meter-radius area?
How?
Not even a slight delay...
How all at once?
How?
Kakyoin!
Enough! Hermit...
Joseph, you're next.
For Jonathan's body to finally become completely mine,
I must drink the blood of a Joestar.
Now's as good a time as any, don't you think?
Dio!
Why all at once? Without the slightest delay in time...
Time...
The time!
I got it.
How could this be? There's no other explanation.
I have to tell the others somehow!
The disturbing reality behind his ability.
I have to tell Mr. Joestar.
Otherwise, everyone will...
die.
You're not getting away with this!
I'll take that body back, for Granny Erina!
Erina? That country bumpkin?
Nonsense.
I predict I drink all of your blood. Then you die.
Joseph Joestar!
Die!
My last Emerald Splash...
A final pointless attack?
Behold, a "hero" in the throes of death...
I suppose that was his last pathetic attempt
to make his mark on the world.
No!
Kakyoin would never just throw in the towel
with some meaningless attack.
Why did he strike the clock?
What does it mean?
Was he trying to tell me something?
It's a message.
I have nothing left...
Mister Joestar...
You must understand.
You must tell the others.
Kakyoin!
Noriaki Kakyoin died that moment.
NORIAKI KAKYOIN DECEASED
Hermit Purple!
Prepare yourself, Dio!
Hamon of the Sun!
You senile old fool! Your Stand is the weakest of all!
You're not escaping me!
Kakyoin, why did you destroy the clock?
You were trying to tell me something
by aiming for the clock tower, weren't you?
It must mean something!
It's Mr. Joestar!
And Dio's chasing him.
Where's Kakyoin?
Did you, Kakyoin,
in the face of death, figure out the secret of his Stand?
Destroying the clock with Emerald Splash.
Destroying the clock's hands.
Stopping the clock.
Impossible! Dio's Stand...
The power of The World...
It can stop time!
Take this, Dio! Twenty-meter radius Emerald Splash!
The World!
Behold The World.
Since time is stopped for you, you likely see and feel nothing.
Die, Kakyoin!
You don't even know you're about to die.
You have no knowledge of what has just occurred.
I got it, Kakyoin!
Your dying message... I got it!
HERMIT PURPLE JOSEPH JOESTAR
A Stand that can freeze time?
Freeze time and still move freely within space?
That's unbelievable!
A Stand like that, can anyone beat it?
Calm down and think!
The word "panic" isn't in my vocabulary.
I will find a way...
I will find a way to defeat him!
He's gone!
What's the matter?
Aren't you going to hit me, Dio?
I thought you were going to drink my blood.
So you're running Hamon through your body to protect yourself.
You've wrapped your body with Hamon-infused Hermit Purple,
like a cloak of high-voltage wires.
Very resourceful. Truly a geriatric genius.
Same to you.
You figured out I was using Hamon and made sure not to touch me.
Perceptive son of a...
But I figured one thing out about your Stand.
You can stop time, but only for a short while.
Only about three to four seconds, I'd say.
If you could stop time longer,
you would've already killed us back at your mansion,
and you wouldn't have had to come after us.
So you understand The World's ability?
Kudos, Joseph.
It was Kakyoin who figured it out.
Kakyoin didn't die in vain!
And so what?
So what if you know my ability?
What can your pathetic Hamon do?
-Hermit Purple and Hamon! -Enough!
I can kill you without touching the Hamon!
Hey, look.
Some old man fell out of the sky!
I bet he's Santa Claus!
What were you doing on the roof?
Looking for pretty girls below?
Old man!
Jotaro! Stay back!
Don't come near me!
Jotaro... Such good timing.
But he's still out of my range.
I'll finish Joseph off first.
Jotaro! The World controls time!
It's a Stand that can stop ti--
The World!
In the beginning, I could stop time only long enough to blink.
But as my neck began to heal,
I was able to stop time for two seconds, then three.
Now I can stop time for as long as five seconds.
Then again, time is stopped,
so all I can say is that it feels like five seconds.
Soon I'll be able to stop time for one minute...
Then ten minutes, an hour...
And later, as long as I desire!
How fun it will be.
Being able to stop time to my heart's content...
Oh, I almost forgot.
Joseph's protecting his body with Hamon.
Hamon was a thorn in my side one hundred years ago,
but it's powerless against The World.
Futile!
Joseph, grandson of Jonathan,
you're dead!
One...
Zero.
THE WORLD DIO
Old man!
Stay back! Run... Jotaro...
Don't get near him.
Keep your...
distance...
Stay away from him...
He's... invincible...
I've already taken care of Kakyoin.
Polnareff must be hiding somewhere.
But it doesn't matter.
You're next, Jotaro!
You bastard.
Dio!
Oh? So you want to fight?
Instead of running, you're moving in closer.
How ungrateful. And after your dear grandfather, Joseph,
gave his life to tell you the power of The World.
He was so desperate, like a pathetic student struggling
to fill in the last few answers of a test as the final seconds tick by...
I can't beat you to a pulp from far away.
Oh, then approach as you must.
You're slow! The World is the most powerful Stand.
The World's speed and power far outmatches your Star Platinum,
regardless of its time-stopping ability.
Your Stand is similar to my Star Platinum.
We don't have long range,
but we have incredible power and precision.
I always wanted to see how much stronger
The World is than Star Platinum.
Though it seems pointless even to compare.
You wanted to compare?
All you did was pat me on the leg.
Well, I guess you did rip my 20,000-yen pants, though.
Why are you Joestars so stubborn?
You can never admit defeat, can you?
Fine, I'll accept your provocation and resume our comparison.
A comparison of punching speed, eh?
Futile!
I first experienced stopped time half a year ago.
It began when everything around me seemed to have stopped.
It will be The World's true power that deals the final blow!
The World, stop time!
